Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Items

(0 pen)

Unresolved Item (302/82-28-04):

The

licensee has revised

Surveillance Procedure (SP)-187, which tests the Auxiliary Building

ventilation system. This procedure has been completely rewritten per the SP

writer's guide to enhance the procedure's clarity. The inspector recently

reviewed the latest revision (Revision 12) to this procedure and noticed

.

.

2

that the procedure's acceptance criteria was confusing when checked against

the Technical Specification (TS) surveillance requirements.

Also, step

9.2.9.9 of this procedure references a step 9.2.12 which does not exist.

These items were discussed with licensee engineering personnel who agreed to

make applicable changes. The licensee also plans to perform another review

of procedures SP-185 and SP-186 to check for the existence of similar

problems.

'

(Closed) IFI (302/85-42-04):

The licensee has revised Administrative

Instruction (AI)-1000, Good Housekeeping, and AI-1803, Safety Standards for

Ladders, Scaffolds, and Ancillary Equipment, to include precautions and

requirements to insure that safety related equipment is protected from

ancillary items such as ladders and scaffolding. These revisions satisfy

the concerns identified in IE Information Notice 80-21.

(Closed) Violation (302/86-07-01):

In an Interoffice Correspondence dated

August 1,1986, the maintenance superintendent stated that the review of

activities associated with the incorrectly classified Work Request (WR) was

conducted on the WR in use on the job. A review of this WR indicates that

the chief electrician and the electrical supervisor signed the WR (#73433)

on October 9,

1985, which was after the incorrect classification was

identified, thus indicating that they had reviewed the work. Action on this

item is considered to be complete.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (302/86-23-09?:

The itcensee has completed their

investigation to determine why the missing wire for valve FWV-15 had been

removed.

This wire was removed during the performance of a plant

,

modification procedure (MAR 82-10-19-06) which relocated several electrical

components. This modification failed to provide instructions to reconnect

the wire upon completion.

The function of this wire was to provide

feedwater pump protection during maintenance activities by interlocking this

valve's position with the corresponding condensate booster pump's discharge

valve. This non-saftey related function is not required by the Technical

Specifications and is not required to be tested during routine surveillance

activities. The modification functional testing did not test this feature.

The missing wire has been replaced and the valve continues to operate

satisfactory.

(Closed) Violation (302/86-09-05):

The licensee has completed and the

inspector has verified the completion of the following items:

Operating Procedure (0P)-404 has been revised (revision 58, dated

-

July 29, 1986) to require either valve RWV-32 or RWV-33 to be open at

all times, and,

An Immediate Temporary Change (ITC) was made to OP-407-A which required

-

valve RWV-33 to be returned to its required position upon radioactive

!

liquid release termination.

Action on this item is considered to be complete.

Covers were properly installed on cable trays 171 and 183;

-

Contractor personnel were instructed in the importance of returning

-

systems back to their previous status as documented in a memo dated

9/4/84. Additionally, this memo stated that such instruction is now

included in maintenance operating procedure (M0P)-410 and that all

contractor personnel are trained in this procedure.

'

Action on this item is considered to be complete.

(Closed) Deviation (302/84-09-02): Based upon a supplemental response by

the licensee dated 11/13/84, the NRC agreed that a Deviation to a commitment

did not occur. This item is closed for record purposes.

(Closed) Violation (302/86-09-04):

The licensee has completed and the

inspector has verified the completion of the following items:

Preventative Maintenance Procedure (PM)-123 has been revised in

-

l

revision 6 dated 8/11/86 to include all the provisions identified as

deficient in the NRC letter of 7/8/86;

l

A review of other preventative maintenance procedures was completed on

-

i

8/5/86 to insure that similar procedure problems-do not exist;

Counseling of the electrician involved in the performance of PM-123 was

!

-

documented as completed on 4/22/86.

l

Action on this item is considered to be complete.

(Closed) Deviation (303/85-21-01):

The licensee has completed and the

inspector has verified the completion of the following items:

Procedures SP-300, SP-301, SP-354A, and SP-354B were revised so that

the minimum allowed Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) starting air

pressure is now 225 psig.; and,

Modification (MAR) 85-07-05-01A, which was completed on 5/28/86,

-

installed new switches to provide the correct setpoint for the EDG

starting air pressure alarm.

I

Action on this item is considered to be complete.

(Closed) Deviation (302/84-26-01):

Items for this Deviation were verified

as complete in NRC Inspection Report 50-302/85-11 except for revision of the

nuclear operations policy procedure (N00). This procedure, N00-10, was

complete.

(Closed) Violation (302/85-08-02):

The licensee has completed and the

inspector has verified that administrative guidelines were added to the OSIM

,

on 6/25/85. These guidelines, called "Special Lineups" restricted the use

l

of Compliance Procedure (CP)-115, In-Plant Equipment Clearance and Switching

Orders, and clarified when clearances, test procedures, or procedure changes

'

must be used to change system lineups. At a later date this OSIM change was

deleted and the requirements were incorporated into procedure CP-115 as step

5.2.25 where they presently exist. Action on this item is considered to be

complete.

(Closed) Violation (302/85-08-07):

Unresolved Items

Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to

determine whether they are acceptable or may involve violations or

deviations. A new unresolved item is identified in paragraph 5.a of this

report.

Review of Plant Operations

,

The plant remained in power operation (Mode 1) for the duration of this

inspection period.

,-

a.

Shift Logs and Facility Records

The inspector reviewed records and discussed various entries with

operations

personnel

to verify compliance with the Technical

Specifications (TS) and the licensee's administrative procedures.

The following records were reviewed:

,

Shift

Supervisor's

Log;

Reactor

Operator's

Log;

Equipment

Out-Of-Service Log;

Shift Relief Checklist; Auxiliary Building

Operator's Log; Active Clearance Log; Daily Operating Surveillance Log;

i

Work

Request

Log;

Short

Term

Instructions;

and

Selected

Chemistry / Radiation Protection Logs.

In addition to these record

reviews, the inspector independently verified clearance order tagouts.

!

On September 4, while observing plant operations, the inspector noted

!

that two of the annunciators, Q-7-10 and -Q-8-10,

had open links

(thereby making the annunciators inoperable) but were not listed in the

,

I

annunciator's Equipment-Out-Of-Service

log.

These

annunciators

'

entitled " PERIMETER FENCE INTRUSION" and "CC (Control Complex) ACCESS

i

DOOR OPEN" respectively, were disabled years ago and were not needed

j

since the security system had appropriate alarms.

.

While these alarms were not needed, the inspector expressed concern as

to whether there were other annunciators that had been made inoperable

and were not properly logged as required by the licensee's procedures.

Licensee personnel acknowledged the inspector's concern and will

conduct a review of the annunciators to verify whether any additional

annunciators have been disabled and not properly logged.

l

l

.

8

Unresolved Item (302/86-27-01): Review the annunciator panel status to

verify that the annunciator Equipment-Out-Of-Service log is current.

b.

Facility Tours and Observations

Throughout the inspection period, facility tours were conducted to

observe operations and maintenance activities in progress.

Some

operations and maintenance activity observations were conducted during

backshifts.

Also, during this inspection period, licensee meetings

were attended by the inspector to observe planning and management

activities.

The facility tours anti observations encompassed the fol wwing areas:

security perimeter felce; control room; emergency diesel generator

room; auxiliary building; intermediate building; battery rooms; and,

electrical switchgear rooms.

During these tours, the following observations were made:

(1) Monitoring Instrumentation - The following instrumentation was

observed to verify that indicated parameters were in accordance

with the TS for the current operational mode:

Equipment operating status; area atmospheric and liquid radiation

monitors; electrical system lineup; reactor operating parameters;

and auxiliary equipment operating parameters.

On August 20, at approximately 3:30 P.M., the inspector noted that

power was available to four containment isolation valves (CAV-429,

CAV-430, CAV-433, and CAV-434).

Procedure SP-341, Monthly

Containment Integrity Check, requires these valves to normally

have power removed by having switch #27 on electrical panel

DPDP-5A locked open during plant operations because these valves

do not receive an automatic containment isolation signal in the

event of an accident. When operations personnel were notified of

this finding, they immediately opened switch #27 that supplies

power to these valves. The valves were de-energized by approxi-

mately 3:40 P.M.

The inspector's investigation into this event indicated that the

licensee had just completed testing another containment isolation

valve, CAV-431, and had just released equipment clearance 8-95 to

restore the system to the normal status. Circuit breaker #27 was

listed on this clearance to insure personnel safety and was

'

" restored" at approximately 2:18 P.M.

While the circuit breaker

.

was tagged in the "0FF" position and should have been restored

(i.e., only the tag removed) so that it was left in the "0FF"

position, it was incorrectly directed to be restored to the "0N"

position by clearance 8-95.

.

.

9

Equipment clearances are issued and controlled in accordance with

procedure

(CP)-115,

In-Plant

Equipment

Clearance

and

Switching Orders.

Step 5.3.5.h of this procedure specifies that

the return-to-normal position of the valve, switch, or breaker

after removal of a tag should be obtained from the applicable

operating procedure (0P) and not from system flow diagrams. The

licensee's Administrative Instruction AI-400, Plant Operating

Quality Assurance Manual Control Document (P0QAM), specifies in

paragraph 4.1.3 that the word "shall" denotes a requirement and

that the word "should" denotes a recommendation.

Since the word

"should" only provides a recommendation and not a requirement, the

use of a procedure was only an option.

In addition, since it

appears that if CP-115 had directed the use of an appropriate

procedure (in this case procedure SP-341) to determine the lineup,

an incorrect restoration lineup would not have occurred.

As a

result of this investigation, procedure CP-115 is considered to be

inadequate.

Failure to have an adequate procedure for equipment control is

contrary to the requirements of TS 6.8.1.a and is considered to be

a violation.

Violation (302/86-27-02):

Failure to have an adequate procedure

for plant equipment control.

(2) Safety Systems Walkdown - The inspector conducted a walkdown of

the Nuclear Services and Decay Heat Seawater (RW) system to verify

that the lineup was in accordance with license requirements for

system operability and that the system drawing and procedure

correctly reflect "as-built" plant conditions.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(3) Shift Staffing - The inspector verified that operating shift

staffing was in accordance with TS requirements and that control

room operations were being conducted in an orderly and

professional manner.

In addition, the inspector observed shift

turnovers on various occasions to verify the continuity of plant

,

i

status,

operational

problems,

and other pertinent

plant

!

information during these turnovers.

No violations or deviations were identified.

l

(4) Plant Housekeeping Conditions - Storage of material and components

and cleanliness conditions of various areas throughout the

facility were observed to determine whether safety and/or fire

hazards existed.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(5) Radiation Areas - Radiation Control Areas (RCAs) were observed to

verify

proper

identification

and

implementation.

These

observations included selected licensee-conducted surveys, review

of step-off pad conditions, disposal of contaminated clothing, and

area posting.

Area postings were independently verified for

accuracy.

The inspector also reviewed selected radiation work

permits and observed the use of protective clothing, respirators,

and personnel monitoring devices to assure that the licensee's

radiation monitoring policies were being followed.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(6) Security Control - Security controls were observed to verify that

security barriers were intact, guard forces were on duty, and

access to the Protected Area (PA) was controlled in accordance

with the facility security plan.

Personnel within the PA were

observed to verify proper display of badges and that personnel

requiring escort were properly escorted. Personnel within vital

areas were observed to ensure proper authorization for the area.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(7) Fire Protection - Fire protection activities, staffing and

equipment were observed to verify that fire brigade staffing was

appropriate and that fire alarms, extinguishing equipment,

actuating controls, fire fighting equipment, emergency equipment,

,

and fire barriers were operable.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(8) Surveillance - Surveillance tests were observed to verify that

,

approved procedures were being used; qualified personnel were

'

conducting the tests; tests were adequate to verify equipment

operability;

calibrated equipment,

was utilized;

and TS

requirements were followed.

The following tests were observed and/or data reviewed:

l

-

SP-146, Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC)

Monthly Functional Test;

SP-160B, Functional and Operability Check of the Containment

-

Hydrogen Monitor WS-10-CE;

SP-1638,

-

SP-341, Monthly Containment Integrity Check;

-

SP-712, Core Flood Tank "B" Monthly Surveillance Program.

-

As a result of these reviews, the following items were identified:

(a) During a review of the plant logs, the inspector noted that

operations personnel had determined that the plant's computer

generated heat balance calculation was in error and that

action was being taken to correct the situation.

The

inspector also noted that this error existed for about three

days before it was identified.

Subsequent discussions with these personnel indicated that

this error was identified by personnel when they noted that

the heat balance results appeared to be inconsistent with the

value for generated megawatt output. These discussions, in

addition to the review of completed data for procedure SP-312

by the inspector, indicated that the errors were in the

conservative direction

(i.e.,

the nuclear instrumentation

i

(NI's) power was higher than the heat balance calculated

power).

The licensee performs a daily heat balance calculation in

accordance with procedure SP-312.

This procedure did not

identify the erroneous heat balance calculation because the

l

procedure only requires action to be taken if the heat

balance shows that the NI's are not conservative with respect

to the heat balance. Additionally the inspector noted that

the procedure only compares the computer generated values for

i

i

the NI's with the computer generated values for the heat

balance thus raising the possibility that a computer

malfunction may not be readily detected.

These findings were discussed with licensee personnel. As a

result the licensee will revise procedure SP-312 to provide a

limit for the conservative direction and to direct a check of

the computer generated NI indications with other plant

indications.

,

l

IFI (302/86-27-03):

Review the revision to procedure SP-312

l

to provide a limit for conservative NI drift and an

l

additional check of computer data with plant instrumentation.

l

(b) During the performance of SP-163B on September 3,1986, the

inspector noted that step 9.4.4 requires data to be recorded

'

when

two

switches (WD-21-FIS#1 and WD-21-FIS#2) are

activated. The technicians indicated that only one switch

l

existed but this switch operated two relays, therefore only

one data point was required to be recorded. The inspector

also observed that the nitrogen purge established in step

9.4.3 was not required to be secured. A temporary change to

the procedure was made to secure the nitrogen purge.

Finally, step 10.1 of this procedure required the technicians

to open valves WDV-575 or WDV-576 if not already opened per

section 9.4.

However section 9.4 does not address operation

of these valves. The discrepancies noted in these steps were

discussed with licensee management personnel. The licensee

will revise this procedure to clarify these steps.

IFI (302/86-27-04): Review the revision to procedure SP-1638

to clarify steps.

(9) Maintenance Activities - The inspector observed maintenance

activities to verify that correct equipment clearances were in

effect; work requests and fire prevention work permits, as

required, were issued and being followed; quality control

personnel were available for inspection activities as required;

and TS requirements were being followed.

Maintenance was observed and work packages were reviewed for the

following maintenance activities:

-

Troubleshooting of sluggish pressurizer heater controls in

accordance with Maintenance Procedure (MP)-531;

Repacking of a nuclear services seawater pump (RWP-2A) in

-

accordance with procedure MP-150;

-

Replacement and post maintenance testing for valve CAV-431 in

accordance with procedures MP-132, MP-531, SP-370, and

SP-358A.

During the post maintenance testing on valve CAV-431 (a Target

Rock solenoid-operated valve) the licensee discovered that the

valve had been installed backwards. Investigation into the cause

for this situation revealed that this valve has no markings to

identify the flowpath and that the electrical cable penetration

orientation is not the same for each valve (workmen utilized the

cable penetration as a reference and installed the replacement

valve in the same orientation as the valve removed). The valve

was again replaced and orientation of the new valve checked by

referencing the valve's internals.

Post maintenance testing was

subsequently completed satisfactory. The licensee plans on making

changes to procedures and purchasing requirements to delineate

flowpath markings on these types of valves.

IFI(302/86-27-05):

Review the licensee's activities to establish

correct orientation for Target Rock valves.

(10) Radioactive Waste Controls - Solid waste compacting and selected

liquid and gaseous releases were observed to verify that approved

procedures were utilized, that appropriate release approvals were

obtained, and that required surveys were taken.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(11) Pipe Hangers and Seismic Restraints - Several pipe hangers and

seismic restraints (snubbers) on safety-related systems were

observed to insure that fluid levels were adequate and no leakage

was evident, that restraint settings were appropriate, and that

anchoring points were not binding.

No violations or deviations were identified.

Review of Licensee Event Reports and Nonconforming Operations Reports

a.

Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reviewed for potential generic

impact, to detect trends, and to determine whether corrective actions

appeared appropriate. Events, which were reported immediately, were

reviewed as they occurred to determine if the TS were satisfied.

LERs 86-10, 86-11, and 86-12 were reviewed in accordance with current

NRC policy. LER's 86-10 and 86-11 are closed.

(1) (Closed)

LER 86-10

reported

the violation

of Technical Specification (TS) 6.2.2.a which requires two Senior Reactor

Operator licensees on watch during plant operation in the hot

standby mode (Mode 3). Licensee corrective action on this matter

has been completed

including

the

remedial

training

and

requalification of the backup licensee involved.

(2) (0 pen) LER 86-12 reported that the heat balance calculation

surveillance procedure (SP-312) had not been performed within the

required TS surveillance interval. This matter is considered to

be a licensee identified violation in which adequate corrective

actions have been taken to prevent recurrence.

This LER will

remain open pending the inspectors verification that all shift

supervisors have reviewed this LER.

b.

The inspector reviewed Nonconforming Operations Reports (NCORs) to

l

verify the following:

compliance with the TS, corrective actions as

identified in the reports or during subsequent reviews have been

accomplished or are being pursued for completion, generic items are

identified and reported as reautred by 10 CFR Part 21, and items are

reported as required by TS.

All NCORs were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC Policy.

(1) NCOR 86-103 reported that procedure SP-417, Refueling Interval

Integrated Plant Response to Engineered Safeguards Actuation, was

inadequate to implement the surveillance requirements of TS 4.8.1.1.2.c.3.a

in that the load shedding of the 480 volt

emergency busses was not being tested. The licensee is revising

procedure SP-417 to incorporate a new method to verify this 1 cad

shedding capability and will submit an LER on this matter. This

l

matter is considered a licensee identified violation in which

adequate corrective actions will be taken to prevent recurrence.

This item will be reviewed further when the LER is issued.

(2) NCOR 86-139 reported the failure to comply with TS 3.3.3.1 in that

the automatic functions of the control room radiation monitor

instrument (RMA-5) were disabled and the control complex emergency

ventilation system was not placed in the

recirculation mode

within one hour. The licensee plans to submit an LER to document

this event. This matter is considered to be a licensee identified

violation in which adequate corrective actions were taken to

prevent recurrence. This item will be reviewed further when the

LER is issued.

(3) NCOR 86-142 reported that DJ-11-TS, a temperature switch for the

Jacket Water Cooling system on the "A" Emergency Diesel Generator,

was improperly calibrated. The licensee discovered this condition

,

during routine followup of a field problem report which identified

a problem with the operation of the switch.

The miscalibrated

,

' -

switch did not affect the operability of the diesel. The licensee

attributed the cause for the improper calibration to be the use of

an instrument calibration data sheet which was not revised

i

following a plant modification (MAR 80-11-28-02) which established

new higher operating setpoints for the switch. The calibration of

the switch to lower setpoints still maintained the temperature of

the system within -manufacturer's recommendations.

As part of

their corrective action, the licensee has reassigned control of

the instrument calibration data sheets to site engineering who

will review and revise these sheets for future changes. Also new

plant modifications will include new instrument calibration data

sheets as part of the modification package. The licensee plans to

recalibrate the temperature switch prior to the next monthly

diesel generator surveillance test. The inspector has reviewed the

work package used to perform this job and has verified that the

correct instrument calibration sheet was included in this package.

This matter is considered to be a licensee identified violation in

which adequate corrective action has been taken to prevent

recurrence.
